Create Related Object ID Field
I'm working on a runbook that is using the Create Related Object step but I'm running into a problem. When configuring the step it asks for the ID of the new object. I used Entity Explorer to determine this is the unique GUID for the related object. My question is how do I generate a new GUID to use for this object? I was hoping there was a variable similar to the Now() variable used for time but the documentation says otherwise. Does anybody have some advice?

To meet this need all our Runbooks that have an action like adding a comment there is a preceding .net activity (PowerShell). In the activity basic script is a one line
$GUIDComment = [guid]::NewGUID()
That will generate the needed value to pass into new related objects.
@Brian_Wiest That is how I eventually had to do it. I was hoping SCORCH would have some built-in way of generating them but it does not.
